I've got one of their funny helmets, it looks very good and modern with the camo cover. Less like a glans than the Naughty German helmets

The liner in my m56/76 is very similar but with plastic as well as leather and the strap is way more complicated E: iirc they also have special snowflake sizes and liners and you can still get them in their original brown paper storage wrappings ContinuityNewTimes fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Oct 30, 2018 |

I'd there's any guy who doesn't have to feel too bad about his contribution to the nazi war effort, it's the helmet wrapper.

I don't know how good that was but he can be a bit  like when he played a 1994 recording of the Alexandrov ensemble singing the Soviet national anthem and said you could hear the fear of Stalin in their voices

Epicurius posted:Noske was in an impossible situation, and the Ebert government was on the verge of being overthrown. It was a deal with the devil, but it was probably the only way to stop a Communist takeover. They were only in that impossible position because they coopted the fledgling Berlin Soviet in the first place. They seized power and used death squads to shore it up.

Cythereal posted:And hey, the Soviet Union did have a hugely profitable alliance with the West. Lend-Lease alone probably saved the Union's bacon by supplying the Soviet logistics with all the transport capability they needed. I'm talking about the offer of an anti-nazi alliance in 1939. This was not treated seriously by the Western powers.
